When can we talk about these things? Never? That seems like cutting off your nose in spite of your face - doesn't it?

No, it doesn't.

All I'm getting from your argument is that you just don't like being told that there are things you shouldn't do. And while I would generally agree in most regards, words with a historical context of hatred and ignorance just doesn't strike me as a hill worth dying on. Like, at all.

The ignorance of some is in no way an argument in favor of holding on to words better left in the past. What a weird, weird train of logic to hop on.
